Will my PC run BG3?
Hi everybody.
My specs:
i5-4670 3.40 GHz
gtx 1060 6gb
ssd 860 EVO
16gb DDR3
Is it enough to play this game in 60fps on medium-high?

Well, your GPU is better than what they say is the minimum spec (a GTX 970), you have enough RAM, and you have an SSD.

Only potential issue would be your CPU which is just the tiniest bit worse than what they claim to be the minimum spec CPU (i5-4690).

I'd be willing to bet that the game will run for you on low-medium settings...if you're worried about it though, I'd recommend going on ebay and getting an upgraded CPU. LGA 1150 CPU's are pulled out of work stations and sold all the time. Just a cursory look I'm seeing 4770's available for less than 40 bucks. 4690's can be got for under 20

um i dont think so. Also i thought the minimum requirment for BG3 is Intel i5 4690 and I am gonna be honest the gpu is a bit low so its going to low. Like I mean that even on higher specs the people are having a hard time to get the game running -_-

I think the game will run fine for you, though likely not on higher settings. Your main bottle neck is your CPU from what I see.

I was able to play EA on a rx580 @1080 all high. But I had a better cpu and the release version seems to be a bit harder to run. You will be able to run it with low graphic fidelity.

Your card can't use DLSS can it? You can always turn FSR on if you run into fps issues.

Your CPU as ppl said is prob main bottleneck as is around minimum specs for game.
Slower than a i5 4690 but faster than a fx8350, but imo you can play game at 60fps with some tweaking and have a good looking game still esp if u use FSR for 1440p, or play at 1060p,
also use dx11 it present it works better than vulkan in this game


MINIMUM:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Processor: Intel I5 4690 / AMD FX 8350
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 970 / RX 480 (4GB+ of VRAM)
DirectX: Version 11
Storage: 150 GB available space
Additional Notes: SSD required

No.

All low, maybe but you're going to struggle.

It will run fine I played EA at 30-45 FPS at low - medium settings 1080p on a frigging Pentium G4560, 8 Gb ram and 2 Gb Radeon 550.

The official minimum spec is an overspecced joke to make sure the game runs well for everyone with those specs, it doesn't actually mean the spec that will only run minimum settings.

if u turn off the TAA is should improve, imo with tweeks u can play this game fine at close to 60fps

Its a fourth gen intel so will it start up, likely. Will it perform well, its likely going to chug and if you happen to make it to Act 3 its going to be a downright slideshow. I'm running newer hardware then you are and it takes a bit before everything loads in on the map. I can only image how hard your CPU is going to be working to get that map loaded.
